Short, Tousled Updos

Carey Mulligan Short, Blonde Updo

Carey Mulligan's textured updo is a great choice for short to medium length hair. Steal her style:1. Apply some texturizing wax to your fingertips and rake them through damp hair. 2. When your hair is semi-dry, gather all of it up into a loose bun and secure it with an elastic. If your hair is on the shorter side, use a clip or barrette to pin it back. 3. Tug at the top of your head to loose it up a bit, and mist generously with strong-hold hairspray to keep it in place.
